Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Slice an "X" in the bottom of each tomato. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to ice water bath for 1 minute; drain. Peel tomatoes, starting from "X" side; chop.

Step 2

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over low heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and chile pepper; cook and stir until tomatoes begin to reduce, 5 to 8 minutes. Add wine; reduce heat to medium heat. Cook until wine reduces slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with basil, parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Place cod loins into tomato mixture; cover and cook 5 minutes. Flip cod; cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add prawns; cover and cook until prawns are bright pink on the outside and no longer translucent in the center, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
